the "bulls and bears" gary smith, jonas, and john layfield and katie pavelive and jessica carlove. can the economy afford a tax hike? >> absolutely not. hillary clinton talks about being the champion of the middle class, but the fact is, that she wants a trillion dollars in tax increases, many of them may not be paid directly by the middle class but will be paid by the middle class through a lack of job increases. politically, this is why republicans have been beating their head against the wall for two weeks now because donald trump, according to polling this week, every indication was that hillary was ahead of him, except for in the area of the economy. he said he's had plans, coming out with a plan on monday, has to get refocused on the economic agenda. >> gary smith, this plan looks exactly like what we've gotten over the last 7 1/2 years. it is tax hikes, a lot more spending and that's delivered economic growth that is the worst since at least 1949. >> exactly, dagen. look, i think voters need to ask themselves if they really think the last eight years were good for themselves

we have gary b. smith.arles payne, joanie courtney, dagen and myself. steve moore, kick us off here. you are now part of trump's team to look at the economy and create jobs. coming up with revisions to the tax plan. how would you characterize jobs. what are you expecting? >> it is still pretty weak. that consensus number is probably about right, we'll get between 150 and 200,000. that would be a vast improvement over last month's which was 30,000. what these job numbers are consistent with, one-to-one 1/2% growth to the economy. that is quite pitiful. other thing i always look at, i keep saying month after month in the show. what is happening with wages. i think that is number one economic issue facing americans. they haven't seen a pay raise in 10 years. maria: for sure. what are the most important things to look at, joanie courtney? we know wages is critical. what are you watching? >> definitely watching revisions. that will be key to he see if may gets revised again hopefully upward. was there revision t

gary b. smith might be bullish right now. are you, gary?am definitely bull iish right now, yeah. connell: so why? the market has been going up, but some point to the fact that it is kind of grinding higher and economic backdrop isn't so hot. i don't know if you fall off a cliff as someone from marc faber might argue but things longer term might not look so hot. why are you bullish? >> i'll tell you what, connell, there is always two things. i always think about the economy, quite honestly that does make mel a little ginchy. makes me feel things are going down but when we look at numbers, we're talking specifically here about the stock market i start to become bullish. here is why. one, we made a new all-time high across the board. that is always a food sign. that is the market telling us hey, things are looking pretty good. more importantly i think the market priced in a hillary victory. if the voting was done today, she has 86, 87% chance of winning. so that tells me we're basically, if you look at economic policies we're going to four to

gary b. smith is here. what do you make of that, gary? >> i kind of agree, i guess.okay. >> i mean, it gets to -- my question is, do we let congress and the government decide the prices of all things? first of all, they need to decide what is life-saving and worth, you know, your health, and then they need to decide the correct price. it's kind of what they're doing, to be honest, with obamacare, trying to regulate premiums. the reason we have innovation in this country is because of, quite frankly, greed. companies want to make money. connell: right. >> and if we -- connell: so if we had competition, the price would come down, that's the point. >> well, in fact, for this product we do have competition. first of all, we have competition that's being thwarted a little bit by the fd can a, making other companies go through -- the fda, making other companies go through hoops. it's really not the epinephrine, it's the injector pen. connell: they could make that process quicker, right, and get them to the market, is that what you're saying? >> exactly. and then the second
